If you still don't know about it, there is a software for guitar tablatures called Guitar Pro, you can download the trial version from their official site. About open source, can't help you , sorry.

In Guitar Pro you will have seamlessly both the tablature (playing midi in real time) and the sheet music that goes with it; the only real problem is that exported ASCII will print all of the empty bars, too.

Thanks for the pointer. Looks like it can import and export both midi and ascii tabs. Looks pretty interesting, and there's an open source clone called TuxGuitar, which I'll have to check out.

You're welcome, I'll check TuxGuitar since I've started programming a while ago; so thank you too for the suggestion too.
